Edited on Wed Jan-21-09 08:07 PM by 1776Forever
This is not like someone in a local pub forgetting the words to a song....

This is the Chief Justice of Supreme Court of the United States!

Chief Justice of the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chief Justice of the United States is the head of the judicial branch of the government of the United States, and presides over the U.S. Supreme Court. The highest judicial officer in the country, the Chief Justice leads the business of the Supreme Court and presides over the Senate during impeachment trials of the President. In modern tradition, the Chief Justice also has the duty of administering the oath of office to the President.

The current chief justice is John G. Roberts, Jr., who was nominated by President George W. Bush and took office on September 29, 2005 upon his confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

The salary of the Chief Justice is set by Congress, and it is slightly higher than that of the Associate Justices. As of 2008, it is $217,400 per year.

.........

You better believe if they gave me $217,400 a year I would have gotten it right the 1st time!
